the Guardian had a letter sent on his behalf in re lot.
:""Genesis XIX, 29-38-the text makes it quite clear that Lot was not
responsible for the action committed by His two daughters, as they gave him
wine and made him drunk."
(Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 501)"
note the voice. lot did nbot get drunk and commit incest.
was was made drunk...and by modern amiercan law, raped.
imho it is of more value to consider how we alter the Text in our
perception than it is to weigh upon the historical evidence that others have
done so.
it is perhaps on more value (personal experience of this poster) to see such
stories as contextual to the influence of the Prophets upon the walking dust
They speak to.
we see plentiful evidence in Genesis that up til about the time of David,
God didn't Rationally Expect people to keep their pants up.
He seems to have Expected them to discover cuase and effect, abstraction,
the reality of the abstract, and then, in 1844 to Say, well, actually, that
abstract soul u "have" is who you really are.
the rest is letters on blocks for children to use learning words.
